Blogging was OED Word of the Day

I just started subscribing to the OED's Word of the Day RSS feed. One of the nice things about Google Reader is I get the older feeds whenever I get a new subscription. I was browsing through today and came across this entry:

weblogging, n.: OED Word of the Day

NOTE: I'm not sure if the links in this post will work if you don't have an OED subscription. I am subscribed via WMU.
